For Ensemble Players and Soloists

Our unique partnerships enable us to offer a considerable range of expertise in a large number of areas of music, together with performance opportunities as a soloist or in ensembles.

Classes and Workshops

There will be opportunities to take part in a range of master classes and workshops from local professionals, including the exciting young players of Ensemble 360°, as well as visitors of international standing. We have recently hosted violin masterclasses with Nicola Benedetti, cello days with Bernard Gregor Smith and viola workshops with Robin Ireland.
